Burden’s Rest, the Gameplay

In Dawn of the Dragons players step into the role of a humble farmhand located in the village of Burden’s Rest. Completing quests, forming an army, fighting in PvP battles, team skirmishes, raising troops for legions, and looting in raids make up most of the gameplay giving players a large amount of variety. Similar to Castle Age and Mafia Wars quests require an allotted amount of energy or combination of equipment to complete. Tasks vary from killing Kobold monsters terrorizing villagers to helping defend locals like Roland the barkeep from ruthless creatures. A small map at the top of the screen displays the entire Kingdom of West Kruna. To move throughout the land players have to complete all of the quests in each area and fight the monster bosses guarding entrances.

There are four different quest difficulty modes including Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Nightmare that users can complete. Quest only have to be completed in normal mode to unlock the next city on the map. The various modes add a nice challenge to the gameplay.

Friends can join your army increasing your strength in battles. In the PvP section one-on one combat or skirmishes can take place. All battles are text based like the game Endless Chaos but with a faster paced style. Clicking attack once usually determines the outcome of the brawl. In skirmishes players battle their armies against each other. The player with the strongest equipment and troop win. The Colosseum players form a four member team from their army of friends and equip them to fight against other players. All combat use specific amounts of stamina to execute. Raising troops for legions is essential for winning these types of battles and looting in raids. To create powerful legions players must buy troops such as farmhands, town guards, and generals from the shop. Then drag and drop them into the desired position. Troops can be general or possess a particular role. As a player levels up and begin looting in raids they can acquire more skilled soldiers. Throughout the game players go back and forth between questing, PvP battles, and performing raids.

Guild Monster Raids

After a quest boss has been defeated players can summon a stronger version of the monster in the Raid section to conquer. Raids and looting is one of the only methods to gain weapons and better equipment without spending real money. Through sorcery past bosses have been resurrected. Each monster is available for a set amount of time for players to attempt to destroy. Raids can last several days to a week on average. Players enter their domain and repeatedly click attack to cause damage. These beasts are not easy to defeat. The assistance of other players is usually required to kill the monster before the countdown ends. Loots consist of epic to rare items and are given as a reward. The guild system in Dawn of the Dragons is excellent. Players can form their own guild or join an existing one from the drop down menu. Guild members can battle special raid monster bosses earning bonus items and XP. Wage war together fighting the deadly Celeano, Arachna, Al-Azab, Groblar Death Cap, Deathglare, Ragetalon, Batiatus’ Gladiatus, Tetrarchos, and the infamous Scuttlegore beasts. Players can click the Rally Cry tab during combat to send a Facebook message to notify other friends that their help is needed. This can come off a bit like spam depending on how often assistance is used. There is a real-time in-game chat box at the bottom of the screen allowing online guild members to socialize. Enter the joust arena to fight in a PvP scuffle against members of rival guilds.

In the Bazaar Shop

The character customization is limited in terms of shop items located in the Bazaar. Majority of the powerful equipment, weaponry, and gear have to be purchased through special packs for Planet Coins which require real money or randomly found through extensive looting. This makes it very time consuming to build up your hero or legions. The shop only contains small collection of basic items. Buy daggers, small spears, blades, shields, leather pants, servant kickers, Gladiator’s helm, brass gloves, studded leather chest armor, and Haidate of the Wandering Warrior. Magical rings that boost stamina or produce bonus levels of damage are available along with various health potions and poisons to use during combat at the Bazaar. Special packs for Planet Coins contain better weapons like the Kavalan Short Sword, Rogar’s Lament, or Might War Axe. They also provide stronger legion troops like the Skliza the huntress, Machaon the healer, the Wind-Weaver, and Tri-Horn the beast. Special services can also be purchased to restore stamina, health, or energy. Boost attack and defense by 10 points for a 24 hour period or add 3 additional members to your army using Planet Coins.

Final Verdict: Great

Players become heroes in the making as they complete complicated quests that follow an in-depth storyline. Wage war against dragons, giant spiders, and enormous ogres with your friends.
